      What's wrong with asserting that global warming is a hoax?

        Given that Rupert Murdoch agreed to drop the bbc news feed on a package that he sold in China because the Chinese government objected to unfavourable stories about them on the BBC, does this make Hannity part of a cabal of Communist appeasers and sympathizers?

      Perhaps we should start investigating the birth certificates of all elected officials whose parents were born in another country.

      Or at least all the ones who aren't from Northern and Central Europe, right Sean? Seig heil, baby!

      Given Sean Hannity's father's birthplace, shouldn't we suspect him as a member of the IRA?

      Hannity is the son of immigrants... does anyone suspect him of being a foreigner?

        For the record I am a long time supporter of a united Ireland unlike Hannity or O'Reilly and Murdoch who side with the Brits. However his congressmember Peter King out on LI has been an open supporter of the the IRA for many years. Does that mean he is palling around with terrorists?

        If TV existed in the 1840's Hannity and O'Reilly would defend the potato famine.

        Thank you for bringing that up. Hannity has dual citizenship - Ireland and U. S. There are two ways of having dual citizenship with Ireland.
        If your parents were immigrants, by Irish law, you can claim Irish citizenship. If your grandparents were Irish imigrants than you can apply for Irish citizenship, but you need to apply.

        I would just like to know, as a GREAT AMERICAN, why he feels the need for dual citizenship.

        Just asking.

          Hoisted on his own petard! President Obama does not have dual citizenship, and neither, as far as that goes, did John McCain.

      Hey Sean,

      Obama didn't create his own birth certificate. The State of Hawai'i did.

      So you should ask them.

      But they have pre-emptively already answered this question. It's a valid birth certificate.

      And you want to know where the birth certificate his parents got when he was born? Well, ask his parents. See, birth certificates aren't given to the infants they relate to - they're given to the parents, remember, Sean? I expect that his parents lost that original copy along the way, and since they're both dead, you shouldn't expect Obama to still have it. The COLB that Hawai'i gave him will suffice.

      Wow, no matter what evidence is presented, he's like a record that skips at the end of the groove and produces the same sound over and over. The 500 Rove Rangers in a room at the Heritage Foundation must be exhausted after the year of lies, they're just lazily repeating them and sending them out again as fresh. My guess is they'll have to up the Valium and alcohol consumption to get through the next month. Happy Holidaze.

      Hannity:
      "A lot of people were afraid to ask the question. Gotta take a break... We're gonna preview my interview with Dick Cheney..."


      I'm certain Sean will be unafraid to ask Cheney the same sort of really tough, probing questions and won't kiss up to him at all.

      If you are so concerned why don't you get in your car, drive to the airport and make a trip to Hawaii to see for yourself. You could even take Lou Dobbs along to help with the research.
